    Peace science and Peace journalism are ideas whose time has come - not just moral opposition to war, but data on what works in reducing it. https://peacesciencedigest.org/media-outlets-have-a-choice-why-do-so-few-choose-peace-journalism/ … via @PeaceSciDigest

        You are right! The time has come.Its going to be an herculean task but if there is a will there is way. I guess journalists will play the key role but but they will have to be highly motivated and well trained.

        Surrending to totalitarians is a kind of peace. Is that what this outfit is looking for?

        If you oppose missile strikes against Syria then you are a Russian bot.

        Perhaps also we should talk less of 'peace' as meaning 'absence of war' - but rather as the natural state of most human beings most of the time, and think and speak of of war as a pathology - a form of madness.

        All war is criminal behaviour. If people in our neighbourhoods kill people, beat them up, steal their land, destroy property, we call the police to arrest them. Because it’s unacceptable.
